William Blake Greetings Card

Prix habituel £4.00

Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

William Blake NPG 2146

© National Portrait Gallery, London

replica by John Linnell

Linnell was introduced to William Blake in 1818. Despite the age difference - Linnell was 26 and Blake 61 - the artists found they had much in common, including their strong dissenting religious beliefs. Their artistic styles were very different, but they admired each other's work and often sketched together. Linnell supported Blake both financially and artistically, buying several works of art and commissioning engravings for the Book of Job and woodcut illustrations to Virgil's Eclogues.
